ok, everybody and their grandma knows you can get the CF fabric from ebay. and Possibly "kits" but for those of us who dont have a couple bills to drop on a complete DiY kit, and would rather drive to a hardware store/local automotive store.(because we're always there anyway)

What types of adhisive is best for wrapping the fabric, where to get it? what resin can we use, where to get it?sandpaper grits?clearcoat spraypaint?
